NFL Week 6 Recap: Cincinnati Bengals 17, New York Giants 7

It wasn’t pretty, and at times, it seemed like another disappointing loss was imminent, but the Cincinnati Bengals did just enough to secure a 17-7 win over the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.

The final score doesn’t tell the whole story, as Chase Brown’s 30-yard touchdown came in the closing minutes while the Bengals were running out the clock. A 10-7 scoreline before that late touchdown better reflects the contest.

Joe Burrow called it an “ugly” win, and that’s exactly what it was. Still, he delivered a solid performance despite the pressure he faced, finishing 19-of-28 for 208 scoreless yards, with one big-time throw and no turnover-worthy plays. Burrow was pressured on 13 of his 35 dropbacks, taking two sacks and absorbing two additional hits.
